Alas, Valentine’s Day is among us once again, Fashionistas/os. Today is the day when couples bring on the love and single people try not to vomit on them. Kidding! Well, kind of. If only it was still as simple as elementary school when everyone shared their boxed ‘N Sync and Backstreet Boys holographic valentines and candy with one another…sigh.

These days though, with all of the hype that surrounds this holiday, single or not, it’s hard not to feel some pressure. If you’re with someone, you have to find the perfect gift that screams, “I love you,” and if you’re single, you feel the need to find a boyfriend/girlfriend stat. My advice? Regardless of your Facebook relationship status, take today to appreciate all of the love around you. Be it your parents, brother, sister, best friend, significant other, or simply just a co-worker, realize that today isn’t necessarily about how many roses or boxes of chocolate you get. It’s about showing gratitude towards those who you care about.
